Adventure 12

On April 19th our class had a group presented on exercise and how it is beneficial for different populations. Before we started the activities that they had planned, we did a short warm-up.
We did some head circles, stretched out our arms, legs and sides. Our first activity that we did was called sheet volleyball. This is where we had to work as a team to catch and throw the ball with our sheet to the other team without it hitting the floor. They made it more challenging by having the two team step further away from each other. This game was a lot of fun but very challenging. I think this game would be great for any populations where team building and social skills are the goals.

After sheet volleyball we played charades, for this game we had two circles. One smaller circle that was inside the larger one. Your partner for this game was in the opposite circle and when the caller would call out a action such as "churning butter", you would have to find your partner and act it out.

for our final game we played humans verse zombies. For this game we had walk around with our eyes closed. The game started out with one zombie and the rest were humans. As a human when you bumped into someone you had to scream, when the zombie bumps into a someone, they did not scream. When only one scream is heard, the other person knows that they turn into a zombie. When two zombies bump into one another, they both turn back into humans. With the right adaptions, I think these games would be wonderful for any population.
